Welcome back fellow music lovers to MelodyHunt. Enjoy. So this week I'm turning the tables and going with a band that really caught my attention in a different way than previous bands. Along Came A Spider jumped out at me right from the start with their all around great sound. Their EP, After The Silence drew me in at first With an overall sound that is heavy but also very lyrical at just the right times. After listening to this album it makes you want to jump in a mosh pit and start throwin' 'bows. In comparison, I would list them beside bands such as All That Remains, Atreyu, and even Underoath.
The first song on their EP, The Overdose On Tylenol, comes at you head on by mixing a great guitar melody, and heavy drums, then not holding back and throwing everything at you. This one was definitely my favorite on the EP, and why not lead off with the best.
Going deeper into the album you get a mix of deep, heavy lyrics, and some great vocals. With other songs on the album like Murder Is Just A Phase, which starts out with an unexpected but welcomed synth intro, and A Pleasure Cruise Aboard The Titanic, which grabs you with a rhythmic drum intro.
Each song on this album has its own unique sound, all the while remaining true to their metal core. This is what helps set them apart from other metal-hardcore bands. The vocals in their songs keep the sound fresh, and controls the tempo by mixing a deep heavy scream and higher vocals.
All in all, I highly recommend Along Came A Spider for every metal fan. They are a great new sound in a genre that is struggling for new material. Comment below to tell me what you think. Support them by clicking on the links below and purchasing After The Silence on Amazon or iTunes.
